Sorry if im not using the correct terminology. I got a medium size leak coming from the rear part of the transmission. There is a rubber boot that is loose but im sure there is a bearing or something back there. I have an 86 crx si with an ew3....What is involved with this repair. Thanks

Go to www.majestichonda.com and have a look at the blow up of the trans and you will see the O-Ring that's gone. Not a fun fix.

Rear of the transmission? Where the shift rod comes out? That seal can be replaced easily.

yea scott its the shift rod seal. I just purchased it of some random website for $14 shipped. The part I could not find is the worn out boot, I may have to try to come out with something creative using some type of gromet. Only purpose it has is keeping junk and debris out. Im searching for a DIY but have not found any info.

Well...guess I'll start this up again. I, too am in need of this replacement boot for the shift shaft. (OE pn=24316-679-000 discontinued) Anyone care to jump in with a possible substitute? Anyone know if the same part from the '88 up honda's will work? Looks different in the parts diagrams but...? Any help greatly appreciated!

I've replaced a few of these seals over the years on different cars. only problem I had on a northern salted car was pounding out the roll pin on the shift link. some are easy, others are hard.

I recall all the boots were toast as well. I was able to replace w nos. I'm sure there's an alt boot that can fit. might need some hose clamps or doughnut spacers

keep us posted
